I searched the forum and since I didn't find it, I would like to make the following feature suggestion.
When typing a predefined .php variable, it would be very helpful to get an auto complete list , like dreamweaver's. So, if I type: $_ I would get :
$_SERVER
$_ENV
$_COOKIE
etc.
And if I select $_SERVER, another auto complete list of (server) variables would appear:
PHP_SELF
GATEWAY_INTERFACE
SERVER_ADDR
etc.
Would this be possible?
Thank you for your time reading and considering this.

Do you know there is a button on the PHP toolbar which gives you access to all known pre-defined variables? I know its not exactly 'auto complete', but certainly saves typing them in.
Also, WeBuilder (and the other apps) have a 'learning' auto complete, so once the variables have been typed in, they will appear on the autocomplete once you begin typing them again. So, type $thisisavariable, and once you type $th again, the autocomplete will kick in.

No, I didn't know.chrisjlocke wrote:Do you know there is a button on the PHP toolbar which gives you access to all known pre-defined variables? I know its not exactly 'auto complete', but certainly saves typing them in.
Yes, I've seen this and it's very helpful once you have defined your variable(s). This also works when you've typed $_COOKIE or any other predefined variable and it does saves time, but my main point was that it would be really helpful to have the functionality Dreamweaver has with respect to this variables, especially when you don't have any predefined variables in your code yet.chrisjlocke wrote: Also, WeBuilder (and the other apps) have a 'learning' auto complete, so once the variables have been typed in, they will appear on the autocomplete once you begin typing them again.

You say there's a button, I will look for it when I get home. Thanks for the tip.
